Anyone from Souris who enjoys living here? Anyone moving or moved to Souris? I would like to share our experiences and learn from you. I just moved here. So far my experiences aren't that great. I came here last summer and living the winter. I love the nature but I find people mean, needy, always looking for a way to make money from me. I live in 1 room cabin and I have a beautiful doberman. I do not own a car but I bike to grocery. I do not understand how people can see my as a target for money. I live alone and work online. I have tons to tell but not sure if I should. I wish someone who moved here recently would tell me a few nice things. Sorry if this is a bother to you.

Oh by the way, I am a lady. Not that it matters. The only reason I came here is because I thought I could have a home and live independently with little money I make. Oh and to make my dog happy of course!

Funny thing is when I first came here, I was stressing about how my neighbors might come and give me a plate of something the first night because I just moved to a new place and wouldn't have food the first day. Instead I found my neighbours didn't even say hello before I said hello and introduced myself. With big smiling face, I said "hiii I am you new neighbour! And this is my spoiled baby" showing my dog.

The only person who came and asked me if I had food was the lawyer who helped me buying this place unseen. He actually came and looked at it and then came to visit me the first evening and brought me a lamp running with battery ( I had no electricity for a month) and 2 kinds of drinks (coffee and tea) in case I prefered one not the other and 2 sandwiches. I thought waw if the lawyer is that good the rest of the people must be amazing people.

I will never forget his kindness. He was actually the only real nice person. haha

So yes there are some very very very kind and thoughtful people here.

But guess what! I am going to stay here and show people that I am a very good person and they have nothing to fear from me. I can understand the mind of being isolated from the rest of the world on a little island. But we live on a global village world right now and no one is really isolated anymore. So we might as well enjoy our differences as they won't last forever!

LOL I just cleaned my 40 feet driveway with a small electric snow blower. It took me about 2 hours. My neighbour came with a truck to clean his just now for about 5 seconds and blew all the snow onto my driveway.

I mean come on. Do I really need to go out and ask him to blow it the other way which would be his empty garden?

There is really no fight or anything negative going on between me and them. I say hello to them all the time.
